Multi-functional Chewing Simulator CS-4.2

Application:

Abrasion tests are carried out in continuous duty with the chewing simulator CS-4.2 to

determine the wear resistance of composites.

Description:

The machine has two motor driven axles that simulate different chewing patterns. An axle

moves the table on which the sample chambers are mounted. The second axle lifts and sinks a

traverse with weights. These weights touch the antagonists and generate contact pressure

during the abrasive motion. The weight can be determined by the user. The traverse paths of

the axles and the speeds can also be set independently from each other. It is possible to move

either the two axles, or only one of them (e.g. for bruxism simulation).

Toothbrush simulator ZM-3.8

Application:

This device simulates various brushing movements on the surfaces of teeth and testing

samples.

Description:

This device has brushes that are controlled by a central drive system, and the chosen type of

movement is therefore the same for all specimens used in the trial. A high-grade motion

controller guarantees exact speeds and trajectories which can be adjusted with a very high

degree of precision. The motion sequence (teeth cleaning technique) can be freely selected

from a combination of forwards, backwards and circular movements. Complex motion

sequences can be easily programmed by means of an optional software module. The

individual specimens may be of various forms and materials, and may be loaded with various

levels of contact pressure. Up to a maximum of 8 specimens can be tested at the same time.

The specimen chambers are separated from each other so that each specimen can be operated

with its own liquid (e.g. toothpaste-water mix), and individually cleaned.

MicroMet 6040 Microhardness Testing Machine

Application

It is suitable for testing samples such as small metallic parts, sheet metal, metal foils,

electrical wire, thin hardened layers, galvanized coatings, glass, etc. Micro hardness testing

can generally be used when Rockwell or other testing methods requiring large load forces are

not suitable. In particular, micro hardness testing is appropriate for induction hardened or

carburized materials to track hardness changes related to microstructural modifications of

surface hardened materials.

Description

Hardness testing permanently deforms a material under a known test force. The magnitude of

the deformation defines the hardness of the material. In a typical measurement the user sets

parameters on the instrument appropriate to the test, places the test specimen on the testing

stage and focuses the eye piece optics on the specimen surface. When the surface of the

specimen is clearly in focus the user presses to start the indentation process. The hardness

tester applies the specified load to the indenter by loading/unloading a motor-driven lever.

When the indenter contacts the specimen surface, the ‘applying load’ stage of the

measurement begins. Once the load has been fully applied the ‘maintain load’ stage occurs

over a duration specified by the predefined dwell time. Once the dwell time has elapsed the

load/unload mechanism withdraws the indenter from the specimen surface. The magnitude of

the indent is then measured using the measurement tools available on the eye piece and from

these measurements the tester calculates the Vickers or Knoops hardness values.

Olympus Crystal Eye Spectrophotometer

Application:

Crystal eye ascertains tooth colors from photographs taken inside the oral cavity, which is

shielded from external light. Then, the laboratory can photograph the prostheses with special

equipment that eliminates external light, providing a true-to-life view of the restoration.

Description:

A spectrophotometer measures light wavelengths that reflect off a tooth using fiber-optics;

this information then is analyzed and compared with various standard shade guides stored in

the computer’s database. It measures hue, chroma, and value, and then presents that data as a

digital shade map of the tooth in the shade system the user chooses. These systems gather data

by use of a sensor, which is held up in close vicinity of the tooth. The captured information is

processed by software, then sent to the dental laboratory either electronically. Each of the

following systems varies somewhat (some are self-contained, others use a sensor that is hard-

wired to a computer), but all use a similar technology to provide the dental team enhanced

information about the characteristics of the tooth that need to be reproduced in the final

restoration.

Impact Testing Machine

Application:

The purpose of impact testing is to measure an object's ability to resist high-rate loading. It is

usually thought of in terms of two objects striking each other at high relative speeds. A part,

or material's ability to resist impact often is one of the determining factors in the service life of

a part, or in the suitability of a designated material for a particular application. Impact

resistance can be one of the most difficult properties to quantify. The ability to quantify this

property is a great advantage in product liability and safety.

Description:

The XJ series of impact testers provides the ultimate step in data acquisition and control. The

testers are available in capacities of 5 Joules, 5.5 J, 22 J, 25 J and 50 J. The XJU series is for

Izod tests and the XJJ is for Charpy tests. Combination Izod and Charpy tests are also offered.

Rotating Evaporator

Application:

The IKA® RV 10 is one of a kind, the only rotary evaporator on the market that features a

clockwise / counter-clockwise interval rotation scheme. Thus in combination with the powder

flask you optimize the drying of all types of colored pigments and powders while saving time

and money.

Description:

All systems are fitted with a user-friendly water/oil bath that includes a powerful 1300 Watt

heater capable of delivering temperatures from room temperature to 180 °C. The heating bath

can also be used on its own, separately to the rotary evaporator, thereby further extending the

range of possible applications. On the basic model, the temperature is controlled using a

simple dial, which is supplemented on the digital and control versions by a digital display

showing target and actual temperatures. The drive motor is another central component of the

rotary evaporator. For the first time, even our basic system now comes with a drive capable of

right-left interval operation as standard. This produces significantly better results, especially

in the case of drying processes. Highly solvent-resistant PTFE seals also ensure that operation

of the system is exceptionally safe, even when used with aggressive organic solvents.

All variants, from basic upwards, are supplied complete with a Woulff bottle. This protects

the vacuum pump against solvent condensation.

Skyscan 1172

Description:

The SkyScan 1172 represents a new generation in high-resolution desktop X-ray micro

tomography (Micro-CT) systems. It uses x-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object

that is used to create a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original model. The

combined ability of the sample stage and the x-ray camera to move is a novel architecture

which allows for an unprecedented combination of image resolution, sample size

accommodation and scan speed. The innovative flexible geometry of the SkyScan 1172

scanner is particularly advantageous over intermediate resolution levels, where scans are

several times faster (to obtain the same or better image quality) compared to micro-CT

systems with a fixed source-detector design.

Uses :

The SkyScan 1172 is used for in vitro scanning by the use of X-ray micro tomography.

Halimeter

Description & Uses :

Halimeter is the internationally recognized standard clinical instrument, used in the diagnosis

and treatment of chronic halitosis (oral malodor).

A Halimeter is a clinical instrument used by dentists to diagnose and treat chronic halitosis

(bad breath). The Halimeter can detect the different types and levels of compounds (odorous

gases) that cause most bad breath. This allows your dentist find out where your bad breath

comes from (for example, your tongue, the back of your throat, or elsewhere), decide what the

best treatment is, and monitor the treatment to see if it's working.

TAC 400M

Description:

TAC-400M - fully computerized and programmable Amalgamator with 10 pre-set memories -

employs microprocessor controls to provide extreme accuracy for a perfect mix-to-mix

consistency and performance, continuously verifying cycles per minute.

All digital MAX is the answer to the high cost of amalgamator replacement. The high copper

alloys of today need equipment designed to introduce the correct amount of energy into the

alloy, insuring you get consistent results every time. MAX will provide the necessary power

to insure the proper maximum results are achieved in each and every mix. Consistent mixes

with low mix times.

Oral Chroma

Description:

The Oral Chroma™ measures the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) hydrogen sulfide, methyl

mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide-a major causative factor in halitosis-and displays each gas

concentration. Measuring each component of VSC not only helps to identify the cause of

halitosis, a major symptom of periodontal disease, and to check the efficacy of treatment, but

also enables the patient to see the treatment processes and results. The product motivates

patients to treat halitosis, eventually resulting in an increased number of patients.

In addition to the previously described basic principles, the system configuration is dedicated

for halitosis measurements and the use of major modular components enables accurate

measurements without the need for special expertise or skills unlike conventional gas

chromatographs.
